$2 dollar bag

[CoinFetcher]

I am meeting a gentleman tomorrow at StarButts to exchange 2 bills for this bag.

I think I see some silver. At least 1 IHC, and lots of drilled coins. he says 20% are drilled. One looks like a seated half. I dunno. for 2 dollars, can't go wrong.

Please help me identify from the photo. will post more pics tomorrow after I get the bag.

for $2.00 you can't go wrong even if they are tokens.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

be careful though, if this is an ad on CL, there are plenty of scams out there... the person might not even show up, keep us posted! $2 seems a little too good to be true for a lot like this. Looks like a lot of "cheap" foreign copper coins from the 1800's, but those still have a demand.

the guy was super nice, and we both work near each other. so this will not be hard. I use CL 50 times a year, and this guy is coming off as a winner, at least over the phone.

he responded to my email with a phone call, in clear english, with a happy-go-lucky tone. He sounds like he Uncle Buck Melanoma, molly Russell's wart. And that's a good thing.

I will get my first IHC!

If I am looking at what you're thinking is a seated half, I don't think it is. The eagle (or what appears to be an eagle) doesn't look "right" to me from what I think I am seeing. At any rate, I'd pay the $2 just to look through them. Best of luck!

make sure you're not followed home!

All of it looks foreign.

 

[CoinFetcher]

all of it except the IHC, and the slick dime.

 

[leprechaun]

Its a great price, but I didn't see any silver, some nice large pennys from canida and maybe England. Nice find.

Lots of foreign coins, I think I see a Mexican silver, I'm not exactly sure. Be sure to post the contents of the bag when you're finished looking through it.

 

[CoinFetcher]

I will post early, and I will post often.

That dark coin with the horse figure on it is a fake token version of a celtic coin. I used to have one. Isn't that big silver eagle/liberty bell coin a dollar coin as it is? So that would be half your money back if all you did was spend it? Might be wrong.

 

[Generic_Lad]

Yep, that horse looking thing is a (cast) copy of an ancient coin. It looks like you've got some pre-decimal British bronze thrown in there, one almost looks like a George II? What interests me is the silver looking coin in the upper left between the Mardi Gras and the dog tag. It almost looks either like a love token or even a hammered coin. It also looks like there's a 10% silver Peso in there. Excellent deal for $2 and you will have to post the contents in full.

Is this a flatten penny



Were did it come from?

 

[CoinFetcher]

I will get all the answers. Nothing popping out as good.

the IHC is ncased in resin. There is a fake 50 peso gold piece. Lots of britsh pennys, old style. Date barely readable.

I took my lunch break fetching these coins, now I have to have them wait in my bike bag a few more hours.

The flattened penny, I didn't take note. I will followup after work!
ps, I got some pullets last night, so I need to secure them, and make them happy. my first pets, other than family dog/cat as a kid.

Post the dates/mintmarks on the pennies, there are quite a few good dates/varieties, especially as it relates to the British bronze "Bun Head" coinage of Victoria.

 

[CoinFetcher]

Will do you, I have a bronze seated coin like your avitar, in the bag. Stoked to get the dates and types out to ya'll.
